View source for Using Labels

==The Problem==

With solid models that [https://wiki.analytica.com/index.php?title=Array_Abstraction array abstract], we know that we can change a variable upstream and have coherent results downstream. One thing that disturbs this robustness is textual entries. When we manually enter text throughout our model, not only do we open ourselves to issues such as a mismatch, but also that if that text needs to change, we have to manually go throughout the model and make those changes. 

==The Solution==

By using 'labels', you can change indices upstream without fear of breaking something downstream.

For example, normally if I wanted to slice out data it'd be done like so:
:[[File:Label_Image_1.png]]

Instead, I can create a 'label' node that points to the header in my index:
:[[File:Label_Image_2.png]]

If I then change my slice operation (shown below), I'm free to edit my index without having to ever worry about previous slice operations again!
:[[File:Label_Image_3.png]]
